"If I had to pick one favorite historic embroidery style, it would be the intricate silk and metal-thread embroideries of Elizabethan and Jacobean England. I'm especially fond of the designs featuring coiling vines encircling a wonderful variety of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and insects. The Tudor Flower Purse incorporates all of these beloved elements, and is meant to appear as if an antique fragment of embroidery, perhaps from a coif or bodice, had been discovered and transformed into a chatelaine purse."
